Just in case there was any confusion about this administration’s disdain for its citizens.

    Confusing, are they shutting down the Trevor Project? Or are they no longer referring calls to them? Really not clear what the deal is from the (paywalled) article

        Where is it said that they’re shutting down the Trevor Project completely?

          It is not.

          The Trevor Project said it would continue to provide crisis services through its own hotline. “I want every L.G.B.T.Q.+ young person to know that you are worthy, you are loved and you belong — despite this heartbreaking news,” Jaymes Black, its chief executive, said in a statement. “The Trevor Project’s crisis counselors are here for you 24/7, just as we always have been.”

      Then maybe we can get out and have the country’s largest nationwide protest?

      Oh wait, people can do both.

        Studies show that they don’t, tho.

        talking about things on social media down regulates the desires that drive change, without changing anything

        People active on social media about politics are significantly less likely to participate in real-world action than people who are less active on social media.

        Google scholar has literal pages of highly correlated and peer-reviewed studies
